One of the most prized pieces in my collection is this 1940 Hoverboy Decoder ring from the Hoverboy radio show. This is just one of 6 rings supposedly made during the course of the show. Find out the full story on this facinating piece of Hoverboy memorabilia here.

Hey Hoverfans!

To celebrate the forthcoming release of HOVERBOY #1, we've reserved a booth at POLARIS 22 at the DoubleTree By Hilton - Toronto Airport, from July 11th to July 13th.

We'll have more Hover-stuff than you can shake a hover-stick at!

Hope to see you there!

This week's teaser image: Hoverboy preparing for some high-flying action!

Starting this week, I'll be releasing a new "teaser" image from the forthcoming Hoverboy comic. This week, it's a still from a early 70's ad which is reprinted in the first issue.

Literary historian Jerome Stuyvestant-Frent sends in this intriguing article about the influences and challenges of the early literary career of Bob Stark, before destiny drove him into the world of comic books, and the creation of Hoverboy. Click on the link above or click here for the History main page.

Yesterday I received an email containing a short movie file. I've tried emailing back the sender several times for more information, but so far I haven't got a response. It's very difficult to determine very much from the short clip. The bare-chested Hoverboy generally dates from the pre-war pulp and radio show period, but the Russian buildings would lead me to believe it was from Hoverboy's anti-communist Cold War era. Stranger still is the red star that appears on Hoverboy's chest. It may be possible that this is another foreign Hoverboy rip-off to add to the illegal Mexican, Japanese and Turkish versions.

If anyone has any additional information regarding this animation, please contact me!

Thanks to everybody for stopping by the Mr.Comics booth for a look at the forthcomining Hoverboy comic. It was great to see so many enthusiastic fans. And there were actually a couple of dealers that had a few Hoverboy comics- which is rare! So I was able to pick up some new stuff which I will post in the comics section soon.

In the meantime, for those of you who weren't able to be there, clicking on the image above will take you to a quicktime of the promotional video which played during FanExpo. Hope you enjoy it!
